Probably the most widely-used oil in cooking, olive oil is pressed from fresh olives. It's…

toasted pitta breads, to serve

Method

Heat grill to high. Lay the cheese on a baking tray in a single layer, then grill for 2 mins on each side until golden. Toss the watermelon, beans and mint together with the lemon juice and olive oil, season well, then layer on plates with the slices of halloumi.

Drizzle with a little more oil if you like, and then serve with warm pittas.

I used reduced fat cheese - I think it would taste better with the full fat stuff.

AWESOME!
I served it with the bacon wrapped halloumi which I found on this site. And then I added a tiny amount of chilli to the halloumi before wrapping it up.
The combination worked extremely well, and I most definitely will do this again.

Delish and fresh - but confused. Freeze???? Surely the watermelon will turn to mush.

I add 2 teaspoons of mint jelly to the dressing and it gives it a nice lift to the dish.

I had no idea what it would taste like and i was a bit apprehensive about these cheese with the watermelon but i absoloutly loved it! Definately should be served as a starter.
